Question

Identify the part of the sentence that contains a grammatical error: 
Each of the boys have submitted their assignment on time.

• A. have
• B. their
• C. on time
• D. No error

Hint:

• The word "Each" is always singular and therefore takes a singular verb.
• Pay attention to subject-verb agreement, especially with indefinite pronouns like "each," "every," "anyone."

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The sentence in question is: "Each of the boys have submitted their assignment on time." To identify the grammatical error, let's analyze the sentence structure:

• Subject: "Each of the boys" - This phrase acts as the subject of the sentence. The word "Each" is singular in this context, referring to individual members of the group of "boys."
• Predicate: "have submitted their assignment on time." The issue lies within the verb "have."

Explanation: Since "Each" is singular, the verb should also be singular to maintain subject-verb agreement. Therefore, the correct form of the verb should be "has" instead of "have."

Corrected sentence: "Each of the boys has submitted their assignment on time."
